Saint Sylvia, mother of the great Pope Saint Gregory the Great in the 6th century, is a quiet but powerful figure of familial holiness. She dedicated her life to God through her roles as mother and wife, raising her son in the Christian faith and wisdom that would profoundly influence his spiritual and pastoral future.
To wear a medal of Saint Sylvie is to entrust oneself to a woman of prayer and tenderness, protector of mothers and families, and to draw from her a calm and faithful strength in the responsibilities of daily life.
